moden -> router\switch
Then one cable going from the router\switch to PC number 1;
And another cable going from the router\switch to a homeplug;
Then another Homeplug upstairs connected to PC number 2.

Would this work?

Also, is it a router I need? Like this: -

Or a switch? Like this: -

Thanks in advance.

Yes, this will work, and the setup you describe is correct. You want the router, not the switch.
